Description
Time runs like a river: never resting, moving steadily on. But if we notice how different each minute can be, we can appreciate them before they're gone. Rivers can be fast-flowing or still, raging or calm, just like us. This lyrical picture book from award-winning artist Emma Carlisle explores the concepts of time and change through the ebb and flow of a river. From the fleeting flash of a kingfisher to the slow grinding of pebbles into sand, this beautiful book encourages readers to notice the big and small things happening in nature, as well as reflect on things that have come and gone and those yet to be enjoyed.

Contemplative fare for those undergoing change or reveling in nature's timeless splendor.
--Kirkus Reviews The pairing of the flowing river and the continuum of time is ambitious but effective, and the author keeps the narrative at a level that will make sense to a child. . . . The serene, encouraging tone assures young readers that they, other animals, plants, and the river are all part of this cycle and that there is much to be discovered and appreciated in the world around them.
